Chapter 20: Master's Suicide Note

"That day in the teahouse, I saw it in a local chronicle, saying that because my master helped Tuyuhun rebel, it caused the 'Princess Changning' to die in childbirth." Mu Mo gritted his teeth and went out to look directly at Sikong Heng's confronting the truth.

Sikong Heng frowned, pondered for a long time, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "It's just nonsense!" ”

"What are the facts?" Mu Mo couldn't suppress the confusion in his heart, and asked like a cannonball:

"You said before that your father and mother were deceived by Sikong Dong, which caused the Mo family's organ map to be stolen; But if your aunt died because of my master, how can I guarantee that your father and princess didn't really want to kill my master? And what you said was that you were asked by my master to come to me, how can I guarantee that you are not a deceitful trap to trap me? ”

"Mu Yu", Sikong Heng was silent for a moment, and took out a letter from his arms, "I know you have doubts in your heart, first look at the suicide note written by your master." Four years ago, your master sent it to my mother to pass it on to you when something happened to him. ”

When Mu Yu heard this, he hurriedly received the letter from Sikong Heng's hand. I saw that on a yellowed letterhead, the words had already faded along the depreciated paper lines, but the content was still faintly visible, and it was indeed the master's handwriting:

Mu Wu'er, Er has been lonely since childhood, duckweed drifting, the teacher regards it as his own, bows to raise him, and then the northwest is chaotic, the grass mustard makes a living, and it is difficult to start a business. Er is sensitive, intelligent, and knowledgeable, and the teacher's last wish can only be continued. I am willing to devote myself to practice, Keshao Jiqiu, and do not forget the precepts of the teacher.

Before he could finish reading, he was already in tears, and his tears fell on the letterhead like beads of broken threads.

Mu Yu hurriedly pinched the cuffs and wiped them clean, for fear of making Master's handwriting even more blurry.

In fact, a year ago, before the master burned the fragment of the "Book of Ink", he secretly called her to him and asked her to recite the entire content, Mu Mo had already guessed that the master wanted her to inherit the Mo family, but he didn't expect that the master had pinned all the hopes of the Mo family on himself so early. Looking back on the years of careful cultivation by Master, many of the teachings have been deeply meaningful. There are many brothers in the same sect, but the master only pins his hopes on himself, if he does not revitalize the sect, how can he be worthy of the master's trust?

But now that the situation is weak, only the ghosts who are not familiar with the world can be relied on, how can we fulfill the master's last wish?

"Mu Yu", Sikong Heng wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, and her heart was filled with pity, "Think about it carefully, if my aunt is killed by your master, if my mother has a grudge against your master, will your master entrust you to our family?" ”

Mu Yu didn't have the heart to listen to these words, tears fell straight down, sobbing and beating Sikong Heng's chest: "You are a liar!" You're just trying to use me against Sikong Dong! My master's suicide note was forged by you! You made up all those stories of yours to lie to me! What's the difference between you and those who use you against Sikong Dong! ”

"Okay...... Sikong Heng hugged Mu Yu tightly, "Okay...... Cry out and go to bed early......"

Mu Yu cried and beat Sikong Heng, venting until he was exhausted, and finally fell asleep in his arms.

In the dream, in a pool of blood in the White Shallot, the senior brother accused himself of "recognizing the thief as his father", and the master reached out to hand over the bloody suicide note to himself, but he couldn't catch it; In the struggle, Hou Fuluo led the begging gang to break into the Baixu Valley, and fought with the black-clothed man led by the tomb girl; In the end, Sikong Heng grabbed himself and used his master's bow and arrow to make a hole in his stomach.

"Ahh Mu Yu woke up with a scream, only to see that the sky had slightly revealed the white of the fish's belly.

looked around, and found himself covered with a blanket and quilt, lying peacefully on Sikong Heng's marching couch; Sikong Heng was covered with a thin quilt and lay on the ground with his clothes closed. Hearing the movement, Sikong Heng raised his head and looked at Mu Yu quietly.

Mu Yu was stunned for a moment, and heard Chi Lu's voice at the door: "Lord Wang, General Zhou Yu is here." ”

Mu Mo was stunned again, looking left and right, not knowing where to hide.

"No need to hide." Sikong Heng turned over from the ground, put on a white deep robe, and pulled Mu Yu into his arms.

took out a handkerchief from the placket, wiped her sweat all over her head, helped her comb her neat and messy hair, tidied up her crooked clothes, looked at it carefully for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the door: "Please General Zhou come in." ”

After a while, Zhou Yan paced in, laughed when he saw Mu Wu, and praised loudly: "It is worthy of being a person from the Mo family, what skills do you have, thanks to the fact that you heard the conversation between Yu Wannian and Sikong Dong that day, and found evidence of their collusion with each other, otherwise we would not have been able to take them down smoothly, and it would be impossible to know the location of Yu Qianyi's hiding from Yang Qi's mouth." ”

"You went to find Yang Qi?!" Mu Yu turned to Sikong Heng angrily, "What did you do to him?!" ”

"Now that you've handed over your hole cards, I'm going to make sure you're safe, right?"

Sikong Heng looked at Mu Yu calmly, and took out the beeswax jade pendant from his arms, "I make sure that he is safe before Sikong Dong is defeated, and Sikong Dong is okay after he is defeated, he and I have three chapters, first, after occupying Xiliang City, he will not slaughter and humiliate the people in the city; second, after taking revenge, stop fighting and give relief to the hungry; Third, after entering Liangzhou, he did not tyrannize and harshly treat foreign homeless people. Now, Sikong Dong and Yu Wannian's father and son have been arrested, and I have reported to the court that Yang Qi has made meritorious contributions and recommended him as the governor of Pingyang County. If I can successfully take revenge and enter Liangzhou, I will fulfill the three chapters of the covenant he said. Your jade pendant, I'll give you back. ”

"Who wants you to be nosy!" Mu Mo snatched back the jade pendant, jumped to his feet and scolded Sikong Heng, "You went to Yang Qi for me to ask for my jade pendant without my consent!" Who allowed you to use my identity to shake other people's emotions! ”

Zhou Yan shook his head: "Help her settle so many things, but people don't appreciate it." ”

"Zifang!" Sikong Heng interrupted Zhou Yu's sarcasm and sat next to a few cases in the tent: "Mu Yu's affairs must be kept secret." Once Uncle Dong finds out that she is a member of the Mo family and stabs her to Luoyang, our plan in Liangzhou will be lost. ”

"Hey, don't worry", Zhou Yan sat next to Sikong Heng, "Don't say that I originally thought that the Mo family's affairs were not fair, not to mention that Prince Rui was kind to the Zhou family, since he had such a friendship with the Mo family, I naturally wouldn't betray the people he wanted to protect." ”

"Hmm." Sikong Heng whispered, and for a moment he was distracted, but quickly returned to normal.
